Projection FOR GIRLS

Some Needed Lesislation-Ths Statutes
ON "Ase OF Consent" in Different
States.
The effort made by the w. C. 7. Us
of New York State. last winter. to
have the Gage of consent" raised to
eighteen years. has borne excellent
fruit. The bill providing for this was
drawn up under the supervision and
introduced at the request of Mr.. Aaron
Powell, editor of the Ptilantn opist and
secretary of the Society for the Pro-
vention of Vice, of which Mrs. Abby
Hopper Gibbons is president.
A bill was introduced and passed IN
the Senate. fixing the age at fifteen
years, but, at the earnest entreaties OF
the State Department of Social Purity
and the Society for the Prevention of
Vice. the Assembly, on the oath Of
June, passed the bill fixing the age at
sixteen years. The Senate concurred
in this, and Governor Hill having
signed the bill it is now the law, its
passage certified to by the Secretary
of State. The age of sixteen wac
fixed upon, as, by an act passed at the
last session of the Legislature. sixteen
years was made the marriageable age
for females and eighteen for males.
We now stand where England does
upon the age of consent. viz, sixteen
years. The result in that country was
brought about by the revelations made
in the Pail Mall Gazette. During the
past winter New York. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania have each passed laws
fixing the age at sixteen years. Hi
nois and Michigan have fixed 1t at
fourteen; Maine at thirteen. while the
Legislature of Delaware adjourned
leaving the age at screen years. The
Department of Social Purity feels UNI
der great obligations to Hon. John l.
Platt, of Poughkeepsie. who introduced
the bill asking for eighteen years, and
through whose earnest efforts we be-
lieve the result to be largely due
